Grizzlies @ Suns Saturday game thread, 12-2-2023

Yuti playing bad

Man, the Suns overall energy is awful. Refs are awful as usual as well. Memphis is a couple guys away from being a D league roster and yet they are leading.

 

[Dback Jon]

Too many turnovers, too many missed FT

 

[Yuma]

Nurk gets no respect....

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Grizzlies 51 - Suns 50

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurk gets no respect....

For supposedly a strong player, Nurkic has trouble hanging onto the ball.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Grizzlies are playing like two starters and their bench outscores the Suns bench 19-12.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns 7 game winning streaks feels so long ago.

But not near as bad as DA when he was here. DA had me pulling my hair out at times.

The Suns 7 game winning streaks feels so long ago.

Yotes are halfway through a 6 game stretch playing the last 6 Stanley Cup winners and are 3-0 so far. Kinda flying under the radar. Suns just need to start a new streak. As long as they stay in the top 6 in the WC, all is good.

 

[Mainstreet]

Both teams played last night, but the Suns had a listless first half.

 

[Hoop Head]

Roddy makes me think I could make it in the NBA. Dude does not look like an NBA player, at all.

 

[Dback Jon]

No energy Suns

Vogel calls time out

Only known him a short time but I can tell you with absolute certainty - he hates it when we don't get back on defense

It's become a common problem. That should be mostly coaching.

 

[Mainstreet]

There is Devin Booker going hard to the basket.

He seems to be coaching it, it's an effort issue at this point.

I would like to see Metu on JJJ at some point. I’m tired of watching Nurk try to pound the ball in tonight, worked last night against a slower Jokic but not tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

How was that a foul on Nurkic.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Big 3 in Phx?

Book - KD - Nurkic

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are picking up the tempo and defense.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Here we go…. That’s the effort we needed.

 

[BirdGangThing]

B a freakin utiful Book

 

[Dback Jon]

Much better after the TO

 

[Chaplin]

Yeah Book's Ankle is fine.
